      I contacted the company to purchase brackets to hang my soundbar. The ******** was made by their company. The company responded, via email, indicating which bracket I needed to buy. I purchased the brackets. They do NOT fit. After a lot of hassle and excuses, the company finally admitted that the brackets that they recommended are not compatible with my soundbar. Now they are refusing to refund my money to me. I want the cost of the brackets and shipping returned to me. I want to be made whole. iLive is unable to offer any other solution to this issue. I have dealt with many of their customer service ***** I am tired of it. I am out $15.15 for a product that they indicated would work. I cannot mount the soundbar with the product they sent me. I have all correspondence which will be available by request.iLive Electronics *************************************************************************************** **************

      Hello,

      Per an update from our consumer service department the customer has been refunded today.

      We do have a policy that we do not refund parts orders, however the team should have recognized that if we instruct someone to purchase a part that is not compatible than we should make an exception.

      The team has been informed how to handle cases like this in the future, but hopefully those will be few and far between.

      Customer should see a refund in 5 - 7 business days, not sure if it will be impacted by the upcoming holiday.


      Thank you,

      Lizzy

      I bought their Bluetooth headphone, and after normal use of about 2 months, the headphone broke when I was trying to wear it. I then discovered it is a common problem reported by other consumers in reviews on the internet due to the poor manufacturing and defective materials, which causes the headphone to break at the same point. I contacted the company several times, including escalating, for a warranty claim, to no avail. They deny it is their responsibility. Later I discovered that this company has a long history of similar practices. Please check the high volume of complaints on: *********************************************************************************************************

      We are sorry to read that the customer had issues with our customer service department.  The customer service team is accurate that the we do not cover breakage that the customer describes, as stated in our warranty.   However, we can understand that the customer is upset and may not be aware of this policy.  Since they were under warranty when they first reached out, we will have our customer service team reach out for a one time replacement.  Moving forward we will offer this to any customers under warranty.

      Currently own an Amped Wireless RE2600M. A breech in the WPA2 protocol was discovered requiring firmware updates to this protocol by manufacturers. Without this firmware update all network equipment is compromised and rendered useless. Amped Wireless did update this firmware for this model of networking equipment. They made the firmware available to anyone who contacted tech support directly and they would send them the file needed. This file was never posted on their site. Only the instructions on how to contact them to receive it. This company as been taken over by Digital Products International Inc (DPI). They mirrored this information and instruction on how to receive this file on their own web site found here. *************************************************************************************************************** The old amped wireless email address does not work so I emailed *************************************** I explained the situation and their reply just pointed me to the same web site that tells you to email them for the file. I explained that the web page said to email for the file. Amped Wireless did create the file that patches this severe flaw but they will not provide it nore reply to any subsequent emails. I told them I would contact the BBB regarding the issue.

      Hello,

       

      We emailed the customer the requested firmware on 4/6 same day they opened this file. Please note that this beta firmware and release is from 2018.

       

      At this time the customer has received everything they requested in their complaint.

       

      Thank you!

      *************** early to seeing their response to the complaint.    I have attached the full email volly with this company.   Their one and only reply you will see just pointed me back to the same page to find the firmware that was never published there.    They did not respond in any form on the 6th as they are saying.   No reply, no file.    If they would send the BBB the file and in turn forward it to me that would be appreciated.    Thanks ****.

      I also would like to address some information in their reply.    I did not file the complaint with the BBB the same day as that email.   That email was in fact sent on the 6th but waited until the 14th to file with the BBB in order to give them a chance to reply or send the file.    After it became apparent they no longer wished to to engage I followed through with the complaint.   The firmware update is in fact from 2018 and you might ask why I am asking for this now.    The answer is this device is still being sold all over the internet and appears to still be sold on the Amped Wireless website to this day.   I just checked and it appears that it is.   ****************************************************;  I myself just purchased the device from a different online vender a month ago and was updating the firmware and realized it had the non 2018 version.   Thank you for your time.   ****

      Hello,

      We are working on resending you the message.  Possibly check your spam / junk.  It would have been received on 4/6 or 4/7.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      There are no emails or files in my junk mail or trash folders.    Upload the file to any online file share and I will retrieve it.    Better yet, post it on the web site for anyone else with this issue.   You have the previous firmware online, why not include this one.

      Purchased an alarm clock on the 16th of Sept. Received the alarm clock on the 20th. The alarm notification sound is very quite, I can not hear it when I am asleep. I called the phone number on the package slip for return and they said they don’t do returns/refunds or exchanges. I asked why the packing slip has this phone number and instructions on returns and why it says that items may be returned within 30 days if all accessories are returned with product. They just said they don’t do returns and refused to allow me to speak to a manager.

      Good morning,

       

      We apologize that the customer was misinformed twice about our return policy.  They are allowed to return an item purchase from our websites for a refund if within 30 days of purchase.  We will be sending a shipping label to have the product returned to us, once returned we should be able to provide a refund.I am guessing the agents were operating under the assumption that the product was not purchased directly from our websites? We are looking into this and ensuring our agents provide accurate information moving forward.

       

      Thank you
